Ski sickness?

I'm not a hypochondriac. Really, I'm not.

I'm never sick. I never take a sick day.

But, it appears that I live in a ski town and I suffer from ski sickness.

Rudolf Häusler, Professor, University ENT Clinic, Inselspital, Berne, Switzerland states:
Dizziness with illusionary rotatory or pendular sensations and dysequilibrium accompanied by nausea and occasionally by vomiting may appear during down-hill skiing. It is proposed that the condition is called "ski sickness".
Yep, that's what it says. Ski sickness. Huh.

And the cure?
Häusler says the quickest answer is to take off your skis.
Uggh.

I've never heard of this. The brain is so funky.
